A Valentine wedding~

Congratulations to the happy newlyweds!

On Valentine's Day our friend Ku married his long time girlfriend, Kristin.
It was a gorgeous wedding! The bridesmaids wore classy black gowns with red sashes.

The tables at the reception were so pretty adorned with rose petals~ there were chopsticks for the guests and red fortune cookies, which I think were strawberry flavored!

Ku, Kristin, and their families took part in the traditional tea ceremony. I really enjoyed this.
Ku stated that if you dishonor your spouse you also dishonor your family.


Sorry for the crummy pics, but I didn't want to "intrude"~ I had to zoom in on this shot for you all.
Speaking of family, Ku's family has THE BEST hunan style chinese restaurant in-da-world! Their crab rangoon is to die for. We would go eat there and his mom would be making a batch of like 300.... yum.... I just wanted to take them all home!

Ok, so I totally LOVED the chopsticks. I knew as soon as I saw them I would keep them for my hair. There were many empty seats at our table so naturally I swiped some extras! Thank you Kristin and Ku, lol!



During the break between the wedding and reception, we did some shopping. We were at Whole Foods grocery store and I did some Bathroom Beauty Snapping for Sheila at Notesongs!
I totally got busted on this one, can you see me looking over to the side, (the door!) How embarassing. They must have thought I was nuts! It startled me, thus the blurry pic~
Re-take!

Besides, I wasn't in the Beauty Snapper "stance" in the first pic!



So anyway, this is what I wore and I had a major wardrobe malfunction. I had on a slip and my outfit was SO full of static! The slip kept riding all the way up and making a huge bulge. I tried wetting down the ensemble several times, only to have the same thing happen. I finally took off the slip at the reception, but then I couldn't get up to dance or anything because you could see through my dress....wahhh!


Just how does one use chopsticks in their hair? Well, I'm sure there are several tutorials on Youtube, but I did a quick one for you. It's rather dark but you get the idea... and you get another sneak peek at our bathroom redo! (Which I will be revealing soon, gee I might make you wait for the 1 year anniversary, lol!)

Now.... back to those fortune cookies! Surely you all know about adding "in bed" to the end of each fortune, right? Well, Kevin's "fortune" was a thank you from Kristin and Ku. Yah~ let's not go there, lol!

However, MY fortune was one of the best ever. At least in a romantic sense... because we've had some pretty funny ones over the years!

Ok, ready?

*ahem*
